Photos: Dad surprises children with hand-drawn lunch bags

David is a graphic designer and in an interview on flickr said that he began the drawings to "do something fun with the kids, and also to start my creative juices before work."

David uses sharpies on the sandwich bags and achieves the great effects for the illustrations by "using a napkin to smudge the ink for different forms of shading."

With over 1,000 illustrations, the subjects range from animals, holidays, monsters, and everything else in between.

David has found joy in sharing this art with his two sons, additionally he has also discovered that many other parents have reached out to him to share similar stories of how they do special things for their children.

In his recent interview with flickr, David mentions that he started sharing photos of the bags because the actual sandwich bags were being thrown away. This way he would be able to have a collection of everything he has created for his kids.

David is quoted as saying that his kids "love it, and nothing makes me happier than hearing their reaction at the end of the day." We've collected 75 of his illustrations, take a look at them in this slideshow!
